Ask me... Let it All Hang Out.

I'm intrigued by this one. How transparent are its income and administrative costs, do you know?

I don't know about them. But the organizations they support: https://www.whiteponyexpress.org/financials - they are Guidestar Platinum Transparency for 2021"

Following Francis financials are not on their web site but are here: Following Francis | Walnut Creek, CA | Cause IQ and they have an impressive list of contributors https://www.followingfrancis.org/contributors which also indicates that all of the officers are unpaid volunteers.GuideStar ranks them "bronze".

I don't necessarily like using titles because we have preconceived ideas of what that means (at least in my mind)

Non-denominational charismatic.

LOL... what does that mean? A pentecostal evangelical that is an independent church that doesn't mind fellowshipping with people who are of any other mainline denomination.

I have come across Pentecostal Christian church and church members during my stay in the USA. So wanted to check.

If you could push a button and get rid of Either 'All Wars' OR 'All Pornography' for ever, which would you get rid of for ever?

There are many variations to the Pentecostal church... from strict (which includes dress codes) to "come as you are" Charismatics. The common denominator is the gifts of the Spirit between the two.

LOL... only two options and not both?

Push comes to shove.......

hmmmm...........

Pornography. Do you want to know why?

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. Working through the various pages I realized the founder is Murshida Carol Weyland Conner, of Sufism Reoriented, but I'm not sure if these programs are a charitable outreach of Sufism Reoriented, or completely separate from them.

Both started as outreach. White Pony Express expanded and is now community based. Following Francis is still mostly an outreach effort.

Yes.
Wars kill and maim and traumatise, with tortures, rapes, the depths of horror.

Porn, worse than that?

@KenS , can you handwash dry clean only clothes?

@KenS , can you handwash dry clean only clothes?

I know you asked @KenS , but....

you can even throw them in the wash, alone, on delicate settings, provided there's no beadwork/fine embroidery.

Wars begin... but have an ending. Pornography is one continual war on humanity leaving destroyed lives that can be generational. It never stops and like fire, never says "enough material to burn".

We have with Woolite and cold water.

So when our fallen troops come home in flag-draped coffins, we can take solace in the fact they'll never again jerk off to naughty pictures.

They won't get a divorce either or ruin the lives of their children.

Well.... I won't let it ALL hang out... but if you are curious, ask.

I'll eventually get to your question.

With your avatar, why did that beautiful woman marry that ugly guy?

 

[Kenny]

STTOS, STTNG, STDS9, STV, STD, STP, or one of the others?

STP - It's good for the car.

 

[Kenny]

You have ketchup on spaghetti?

When there is no meat sauce... a great substitute when I didn't have money.

That is the SECOND time you ask

I grabbed her before she realized there were better looking ones out there
